'`*Dependent on government funding and/or taxes.		
Totals: 4832 4788
This sampling of the major employers of the area reflects 197 private enterprise
jobs lost; 153 government jobs gained for a net loss of 44 total jobs.
CONCERNS:
• The advalorem tax base affects the majority of our major employers
• The changing environment of health care and shrinking government funds (federal and
state) are affecting our community directly and putting our health care services at risk.
• The Health Care industry affects the Retirement Industry -both have a direct impact on
the Kerrville/Kerr County area.
• The possible impacts of reduced government funding (VA, KSH and Medicaid which
affects SPMH and area nursing homes) include:
1. Increased law enforcement responsibilities -transportation, dealing with ill
people.
2. Local jails would be forced to become holding facilities for the mentally ill and
assume the liabilities associated when many jails are already facing
overcrowding problems.
3. Emergency rooms would be forced to provide treatments KSH now provides.
4. Unemployment rates would increase significantly in the county as workers search
other areas and possibly other counties for employment.
5. School districts and local governments will experience loss of revenue.
6. People facing unemployment quit spending -other services are hurt causing a
ripple down effect on the community.
